Bible Reading Plans

Lutheran Service Book: Daily Lectionary

The Daily Lectionary of the 2006 Lutheran Service Book provides daily devotional readings that follow the Western Church calendar. Through the course of the year, most of the New Testament and about one third of the Old Testament are covered.

The lectionary begins on Ash Wednesday if you are on a Western calendar, or on the Wednesday following Forgiveness Sunday if you are on an Orthodox calendar.

Lutheran Worship: Daily Lectionary

The Daily Lectionary of the 1982 Lutheran Worship hymnal provides a plan for reading the entire Protestant Bible in one year, including two complete readings of the Psalms. Each day's reading includes a Psalm and about three chapters from another book.

The lectionary begins on December 1, which approximately coincides with the Western liturgical new year. If you are using an Orthodox "old" calendar, dates are adjusted accordingly.

Orthodox Bible Reading Plan

This reading plan is circulated widely among Orthodox congregations, and covers the Bible in one year, including the Anagignoskomena, or deuterocanonical texts, found in the Septuagint.

The lectionary begins on the Orthodox new year, September 1. If you are using an Orthodox "old" calendar, then it is adjusted accordingly.

A couple points to mention about this reading plan:

  • Most of the texts outside the Protestant canon are currently only available in the King James Version. We would like to replace them, but high-quality freely available translations are hard to come by.
  • Some texts are not yet available at all, but we will have that resolved before the dates when they are needed.
